This is an anthology issue containing three main stories. "Magic Mirrors" features Peter Rabbit and his friends dressed as cowboys engaging in a gunfight. "Cicero and Timmy" shows Cicero the cat performing with an accordion on a rooftop while receiving encouragement about his singing career. "The Frog Prince" adapts the fairy tale of a king's beautiful daughter and a cursed prince, involving a riddle about which maiden ate which sweetmeat (sugar, syrup, or honey) to identify the princess. The final story involves Betty reading "The Ghost Rider" tale to Peter Rabbit, where she must save her uncle's ranch while dealing with a mysterious ghost rider figure and a western adventure.
